Despite the disappointing results in trying to treat children suffering from type 1 diabetes with the GAD vaccine, the treatment has not been written off entirely. DIAPREV-IT, the study in which healthy high-risk children are vaccinated, is continuing as planned, and now with more money behind it. "I am still hopeful that the GAC vaccine will work", says Helena Elding Larsson. Dr Elding Larsson is

Physical violence is rarely something people think about or act out. Even violence specialists - people with a propensity for violence and a capacity to cause devastating damage - are belligerent only a fraction of their time awake. Sociology professor David Wästerfors is an anomaly. He has thought about violence a lot. This fall, Professor Wästerfors published some of his thoughts in the book Vio

Eldhärjade skogsområden i Norden fortsätter att avge koldioxid långt efter att lågorna slocknat. Utsläppen är till och med betydligt högre efter en brand, än medan den pågår. Det visar en ny unik studie från Lunds universitet, där effekten av den omfattande skogsbranden i Ljusdal den torra sommaren 2018 har studerats. Att klimatförändringen, med stigande temperaturer som följd, ökar risken för sko

Alla som har fått diagnosen diabetes före sex månaders ålder bör testa sig. En del av dem behöver inte insulin. De klarar sig lika bra eller till och med bättre med tabletter, kanske helt utan medicinering. Nyföddhetsdiabetes är ovanligt, hur ovanligt är det ingen som riktigt vet.I den svenska undersökningen Bättre Diagnostik av Diabetes (BDD), där i stort sett alla under 18 år som får diabetes re

Varje dag dör fyra människor i Sverige i självmord. Bättre strategier för bedömning av suicidrisk, ökad kunskap inom primärvården och större fokus på dem som tidigare gjort självmordsförsök, kan sannolikt rädda fler liv. Det visar en ny avhandling om suicid och riskfaktorer, som nu läggs fram vid Lunds universitet. – Över 90 procent av de personer som dör i suicid i Sverige, har haft kontakt med h

Den pågående debatten om LCHF-dieten har kanske missat en bit… Att vår livsstil påverkar hälsan är inget nytt men vad spelar generna för roll i detta sammanhang? Sedan bara några år tillbaka är det möjligt att studera alla människans gener och vi kan i dag börja lägga ihop pusslet om hur kost och gener samspelar för att kunna förebygga olika sjukdomar. Våra senaste resultat visar att kost och gene

Ett naturligt ämne från äppelträdets bark har potential att förändra den vanligaste dialysbehandlingen i hemmet. Ämnet blockerar nämligen cellerna från att ta upp glukos från dialysvätskan, vilket effektiviserar vattenborttagning och förhindrar viktökning. Upptäckten som publiceras i Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, markerar ett paradigmskifte menar forskaren och ST-läkaren Carl Öber

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have compared the effects of intravenous ketamine treatment with ECT treatment in severe depression. The results support the view that ketamine is a possible treatment, but also show that ECT treatment helps more people. In recent years, ketamine has emerged as a new treatment for depression, after studies have shown it to be a fast-acting antidepressant. “

Research groups in close collaboration in Malmö have shed light on the pathway whereby a common genetic risk variant leads to impaired mitochondrial function of insulin cells. The variant in question impairs the capacity to secrete insulin and increases the risk of developing diabetes. The discovery is published in the highly ranked scientific journal Cell Metabolism. It is widely established that
